[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheezzzz:
have only been so far using Eclipse 1.1

battery life is average I guess - not sure if I'm expecting too much out of my M or it's merely a 2000mAh battery, what more can we expect?

I am a heavy user, always refreshing facebook, checking emails, I swap between auto brightness in the sun and minimal when indoors. Data is 3G on all the time or wifi if available..

If I start the day with 100% and I'm constantly refreshing and leaving the screen on I'd probably get about 5-6 hrs on screen time before requiring to charge again.

Some people post their 10+hours of batt life but do factor in the screen on time.. just cuz it looks nice doesn't mean it's the actual stats. After all you're not going to just buy a phone only to leave the screen off 99% of the time aren't you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TabbedOut:
I am pretty pleased with myself, and although none of the ideas are really that original (others have done similar things... SD card thing was done on a Note I, but not quite so elegantly in my opinion), I like how they all came together. I'm sorry for the poor quality pics... family is asleep and I cannot access a decent camera so these came from my PS Vita which is more accessible

Using a Otterbox case I've got a phone with a fairly long battery life and a full size SD slot which is currently supporting a 128gb Kingston SDXC card. It did require some cutting with a dremel, but when the case is on there is very difficult to detect the mods visually. Now there is a slight bump where the battery lies, but it doesn't overly deform the case and the SD card is undetectable. Of course it is heavier, but it is worth the weight to me as my cell coverage at work is nonexistent and the extra battery actually allows me to make it through a 12 hour shift with battery life at the end of the day. Now doing this required my cutting through the portion of the case where the NFC antenna is located, thus no NFC commo right now. For me this is no huge loss as it's something I never use though. Your mileage may vary with this though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shill1986:
Jesus that's a right setup. I've seen it before, but like you said not quite so elegantly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] COMTB:
The gel case is enough to hold the battery in?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TabbedOut:
Otterbox seems to be using a different polymer for the rubber covering now... It's more... firm (best word I can think of)... Additionally, I cut the original backing tight enough that it is very difficult to remove the battery with that in place. In any case the battery isn't going anywhere.

Thank you ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hoodratchandler:
Well, I know what my next project will be! I am going to do the battery mod with an Otterbox I just traded for. So, its not like I have to pay the $50 for the case. And I already have the dremel... so the only thing i need to buy is the battery. I see that these Mugen batteries are pushing 100 dollars on the bay... would any 6500 mah battery be good enough for very long battery life?

Very true. But worst case would I have a crappy cheap battery? Or could it actually damage my phone...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] babiegurl36:
Anker battery is just as good and it's way cheaper than mugen. It has solid reviews on it and I'm actually using and I am very satisfied with it. I actually did the Otterbox mod myself (sans sd mod) and I love it!

Oh, btw, the Anker battery only costs $16 (when I purchased it about 6 weeks ago)!

Hi,

Is there a way to play my music on my USB car stereo without losing cell connectivity? I'd like to use either Google play, or player pro and funnel the music through my stereo so my stereo picks up the music, tags, and can control back and forward without putting it in to disk mode. Is this possible?

[HTC Inspire 4G] MidnightJava:
I upgraded my HTC Inspire 4G from CM 7.2 to JellyTime 4.2.1, which is based on CM 10. Very smooth ROM, and I'm very happy with how it's working. One minor problem that I'd like to get some help on is that the capacative keys back light goes off after 2 seconds or so of inactivity. I'd like them to stay on as long as the screen is on, or if that's not possible it would be good to have them turned on by the proximity sensor.

There are lots of posts on this on various sites, and it seems that some people can't get them to turn off and others can't get them to stay on. I toggled Auto Brightness, and that didn't have any effect. Also tried it in a very dark room and covering the light sensor with my hand, and darkness does not make them come on. Only an actual touch of the screen or one of the keys.

I'm assuming this is a quirk of JellyTime, since others with stock ROMs or other CM variants are saying the keys stay on. But there's nothing in the JellyTime bug tracker. It may have come up in the JellyTime thread, but I can't read 1100+ pages of comments. Excellence and popularity has its downside.

Okay, so I admit I'm not tech savvy whatsoever, so please give all explanations as if you were talking to a 5 year old.

I have a LG optimus elite with virgin moblie and it has a crap load of apps on it I have no intent on using. I use task killer to try and save battery, but it only helps so much. I get very OCD with thing and would love to remove all the stuff I don't use, including that useless "ID" icon on the front. I also want to make my default browser Firefox, but it won't let me change it from the phone's original browser app. I'm trying to look into this rooting business so I can clean up my phone, but do to my lack of skills, I'm petrified that I would "brick" it or whatever the term is.

So basically:

1. Is there a way to do these things without rooting?

2. How serious are the risks of rooting? (I can't afford another phone if I screw something up and I use it as my sole phone, so it's precious to me)

Thanks for any help!

You can but there's few firmwares available for Xperia SL.

It's for Xperia SL.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AmG77:
So its better to buy S than SL?? For availability of custom firmwares??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
Actually the only difference is in processor 1.5 and 1.7 GhZ. In terms of performance I see no big difference. But yes in XDA, Xperia S support is better than SL.

One more thing, I've seen many trying Xperia S firmware on SL and no complained so far. Except the name changed to lt26i rather than lt26ii

But still don't try it unless you are completely sure about it.

[Nexus 4 General] flacco40:
Please feel free to posts requests or ideas to Google for upcoming updates, the purpose of this thread is to eventually have multiple requests of the same thing from consumers for them to be sent to Google to hear our voice. Please type the app or interface area that you have a request for and then describe.

Dialer/Contacts

I would like the longpress options or actions to be brought back to the call log/contact interface. Also to make tiles that are more user friendly when viewing a contact or recent call, the interface it has now is a huge contact edit tile, a thin call tile and a super tiny text tile, its annoying and doesn't make sense.

Maps/Messaging

Another is for the keyboard to automatically pop up ready to type when choosing "search nearby" option in maps app and when you open a thread in messaging...this should be automatic as I am obviously looking to type something if I'm searching nearby... and 9 times out of ten if I click a thread that is marked read I am looking to type so its super annoying to have to go through the extra step to pull up the keyboard it just doesnt make sense either.

Notification bar

Galaxy S3 or LG style toggles at notification (attached sample pic) which allow one handed change of settings such as brightness WiFi and General Settings on the fly, the current 2 finger swipe down is cool but who uses their phone with 2 hands that often...really??

Please reply to each others post with an "Agree" kind of as a way to sign and petition if you agree or request the same thing as I am really looking to turn this in to Google thanks guys.
[Nexus 4 General] gie62001:
This is just my personal opinion but I believe Google already has things in the pipeline for many updates ahead and they are not improvising as they go, well maybe they do on the smaller things bug fixes but general understanding of future development I believe must be there so whatever we want or say don't think big corporation like Google will take into consideration

On the other hand sometimes what's good for one may not be ideal for another so this is also very subjective.

And for me I like the way 4.2.2 is now even with the long press on power toggles.

But some ideas may always be interesting to see and if not Google maybe some developers can implement it.
[Nexus 4 General] vbhtt:
It would be more useful if you post it here.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IDETortoise:
I don't know if this is an original question, I just joined the site, and reading through this forum convinced me that this is the tablet I am looking for.

I just began studying Japanese this quarter, and I would love to be able to augment my studying with the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Obviously this device does not only ship to the US, so I am sure it recognize other language input. Practicing writing sentences will of course not be a problem. What I want to know is if the device will recognize the kana and print it to the screen. I feel that it can be a great practice tool for perfecting my writing if the software can identify it.

Is it as simple as changing the keyboard language? Will I need to root my device?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofutown:
I'm studying Japanese as well, but I don't see the option to input kana. The only East Asian input languages I could download for the keyboard was Korean and Chinese. There's no download for Japanese language. It's so disappointing! :mad: I have the US Wi-Fi version of the Note 10.1 (N8013), though. The international version might have Japanese input but I don't know for sure.

You could always try using a 3rd party keyboard from the Play Store, however, they may not have handwriting recognition. So I'd parse through the app store before you go out and buy one.

If you're using a language from the default list in the settings menu (there's not too many in the list), there is no need to root. All you have to do is download the font from the Settings menu.

I hope I didn't confuse you or anything...

EDIT:

I did a quick Google search and someone had recommended downloading MultiLing Keyboard + the Japanese plug-in + the HanWriting system to get Japanese handwriting input OR you can purchase an app called 7notes with mazec (Japanese). MultiLing is free and 7notes costs $10.47 (there is a trial version but that's Japanese only). I would post links but I can't since I'm a newbie. D:

I'm gonna test out the MultiLing one first, then the 7notes trial since the latter is quite expensive.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainomx:
Yes, you can write and read japanese in almost any app, even you can set japanese as the main language if you want. (all the menus and options will appear in japanese).

The default keyboard (samsung keyboard) doesn't have japanese as writing language, but no problem, just use any third party keyboard with japanese support, I use (and recommend) Multiling Keyboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klye.ime.latin), it has plugins for japanese and handwriting (works very well with the spen)

And there are good learning apps for writing in japanese, like Hiragana Learning Experiment (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.legendarya.helloandroid) that can help you to improve your writing skills.

No root is required at all.

Thank you for the replies. This is perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravlyk:
I use 7 notes with mazec (Japanese) - it is some notes application that I don't use, but it also installs a japanese keyboard with handwriting recognition for kana and kanji (and also romanji and numbers). Looks like samsung handwriting keyboard and works very well. Well worth its price (and there is free version to try):

7notes with mazec in play store
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
Is there any "keyboard" that will recognize input of handwritten kanji directly?

Japanese keyboards that I found all depend on kana input.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ainomx:
yep, have you tried Multiling Keyboard that I mentioned above?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
No, but I did download the trial version of 7Notes with mazec and that seems ok for input of words and phrases but it still has ways to go before it handles sentences our word combinations. Also perhaps a little on the expensive side. I will use this for a week to see how I get along with it and the I'll try the Multiling keyboard, it just sounds like it requires downloading a lot of language specific files.

The Samsung keyboard on their Note series has good handwriting recognition and I noticed I could download Japanese as one of the supported languages. I did just that but I couldn't get it to recognize any kind of Japanese input.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinaldistic:
it feels weird that tablets like the nexus 7 retails at 200 dollars while our 5.5 inch phone retails at 800... yet the only differences are the cell radios, the wacom tablet and the oled... yet the 10 inch tablets are also cheaper than our phones at 500...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Because the smaller the parts the more mfg costs. Not to mention the oled, wacom and radios cost a significant amount more than not adding them, then you have all the extra software to program to control the hardware, etc. In mobile electronics the smaller the components the more they cost to mfg and assemble as it requires specialized tools and a human instead of a machine to assemble. Micro soldering equipment costs upwards of a half million dollars for a low volume machine. The ones they use in the assembly plants do upwards of 100 devices at a time.

I like to break stuff! :D
